We prove function field versions of the Zilber-Pink conjectures for varieties supporting a variation of Hodge structures. A form of these results for Shimura varieties in the context of unlikely intersections is the following. Let $S$ be a…
We prove some cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture on unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties. Firstly, we prove that the Zilber-Pink conjecture holds for intersections between a curve and the union of the Hecke translates of a fixed…
We propose an axiomatic approach towards studying unlikely intersections by introducing the framework of distinguished categories. This includes commutative algebraic groups and mixed Shimura varieties. It allows us to define all basic…
We discuss the relationships between the Andr\'e-Oort, Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier, and Mordell-Lang conjectures for Shimura varieties. We then combine the latter with the geometric Zilber-Pink conjecture to obtain some new results on unlikely…
The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in $\mathcal{A}_2$ has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper special subvariety. Under a large Galois orbits hypothesis, we…
In this paper we show how some known weak forms of the Zilber--Pink conjecture can be strengthened by combining them with the Mordell--Lang conjecture or its variants. We illustrate this idea by proving some theorems on atypical…
In this note, we prove the Zilber--Pink conjecture for subvarieties of mixed Shimura varieties, which are not defined over~$\overline{\mathbb Q}$ in a strong sense. We prove similar results for general variations of mixed Hodge structure of…
We consider a family, depending on a parameter, of multiplicative extensions of an elliptic curve with complex multiplications. They form a 3-dimensional variety $G$ which admits a dense set of special curves, known as Ribet curves, which…
We present a conjecture on the geometry of the Hodge locus of a (graded polarizable, admissible) variation of mixed Hodge structure over a complex smooth quasi-projective base, generalizing to this context the Zilber-Pink Conjecture for…
We show that the strategy of point counting in o-minimal structures can be applied to various problems on unlikely intersections that go beyond the conjectures of Manin-Mumford and Andr\'e-Oort. We verify the so-called Zilber-Pink…
In this paper, we prove the generalised Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier conjecture (an important case of the Zilber-Pink conjecture) for all Shimura varieties of abelian type. Questions of this type were first asked by Y. Andr\'e in 1989. We actually…
We prove a special case of the following conjecture of Zilber-Pink generalising the Manin-Mumford conjecture : let $X$ be a curve inside an Abelian variety $A$ over $\bar{\Q}$, provided $X$ is not contained in a torsion subvariety, the…
Given subvarieties $X, Y$ of a complex algebraic variety $S$ of complementary dimension, must they intersect? When $S$ is projective space, this is a consequence of the classical B\'ezout theorem, and an analogue for simple abelian…
We extend the relative theory of admissible pairs and $p$-adic Hodge structures introduced in Part II to allow variation in the underlying local systems of $\mathbb{Q}_p$-vector spaces and isocrystals. This extension accommodates, in…
We prove a positive characteristic version of Ax's theorem on the intersection of an algebraic subvariety and an analytic subgroup of an algebraic group. Our result is stated in a more general context of a formal map between an algebraic…
A strongly special subvariety of a Shimura variety $S$ is (essentially) a subvariety associated to a semi-simple sub-Shimura datum. We prove that the set of probability measures canonically associated to to strongly special subvarieties is…
The Poincar\'e torsor of a Shimura family of abelian varieties can be viewed both as a family of semi-abelian varieties and as a mixed Shimura variety. We show that the special subvarieties of the latter cannot all be described in terms of…
We develop a theory of enlarged mixed Shimura varieties, putting the universal vectorial bi-extension defined by Coleman into this framework to study some functional transcendental results of Ax type. We study their bi-algebraic systems,…
The Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier conjecture concerns the intersection of subvarieties and the generalized Hecke orbit of a given point in mixed Shimura varieties. It is part of the Zilber-Pink conjecture. In this paper we focus on the universal…
Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety and $C$ a curve in $G$ that is not contained in a proper algebraic subgroup of $G$. In this situation, conjectures of Pink and Zilber imply that there are at most finitely many points contained in the…
